How far is it possible for societies to provide equal opportunities for all their citizens?

equal opportunities for all

Equal opportunities for all citizens is an unrealistic goal.

  • What do we mean by ‘equal opportunities’ (a reference to gender, ethnicity, class etc.)
  • Economic and social factors at work in particular societies
  • How the provision of equal opportunities might be monitored
  • The obstacle of resistance to equal opportunities when rooted in cultural/religious issues
  • What about physically vs mentally disabled people?
  • Prisoners?
